Clifton Hicks - Old Tar River
Banjo Heritage 👉 https://patreon.com/CliftonHicks
"Old Tar River" (Old Tare River) is attributed to Joel Walker Sweeney, who's thought to have composed it by 1840. Frank Brower and Dan Emmett played it on stage in Lynchburg, Virginia, on July 4, 1841. Sweeney himself is documented performing it in New York City the following year. It first appears in print in THE COMPLETE BANJO PRECEPTOR by Elias Howe (1851).
I learned "Old Tar River" from Aaron Stevens of Monteagle, Tennessee. See Clarke Buehling and Mark Weems for other versions of the song. My instrument is an exceptional 1867 Henry C. Dobson banjo tuned ~ gCGBD.
